🌱 We brewed this American adjunct light lager with rice and Czech Saaz hops for a crisp, classic flavor with a subtle earthy, spicy character. Pouring a light golden color, Lawnmower Beer is a low-ABV crusher that’s equally enjoyable while working in the backyard or relaxing on the river.

💥 Pacific Boost is a modern take on the classic West Coast IPA, brewed with a blend of Simcoe, Citra, and Mosaic hops that deliver citrus, tropical fruit, and subtle pine notes. Pacific Boost is crystal clear with a crisp finish, a lean malt backbone, and an approachable bitterness.

6.5% ABV/50 IBU
